Ram never says - follow my way

In the Valmiki Ramayana, a dialogue between the sage Jabali and Shri Ram is mentioned, which is very interesting...
....................................................... ...
At the time of the meeting between Rama and Bharata, sage Jabali is also present. Shri Rama insists that he cannot disturb his soul by breaking the promise he made to his late father, while Sage Jabali tells Sri Ram that these words are no longer of any importance and have no practical use, but that now public sentiment should be cherished. During the argument between the two, Sage Jabali once says that man is confused about the departed souls and runs after him, forgetting that the living being dissolves all his ties after death. He has no relationship with anyone, he remains neither the father of anyone nor the son of anyone. 
In such a situation, the deeds of a person released from the world become meaningless to the departed soul. He can derive neither joy nor sorrow from those actions. But the ordinary person still remains in confusion..

**अष्टकापितृदेवत्यमित्ययं प्रसृतो जनः।
अन्नस्योपद्रवं पश्य मृतो हि किमशिष्यति ।।14।।**
(बाल्मीकिविरचित रामायण)

The Ashtakadi Shraddha is dedicated to the Pitra-devas, a belief that permeates the mind of the person with the idea that he will find devotional enjoyment in that world here. This is purely psychological and at the same time a waste of food.    ** श्रयदि भुक्तमिहान्येन देहमन्यस्य गच्छति ।                                                             दद्यात् प्रवसतां श्राद्धं तत्पथ्यमशनं भवेत् ।।15।।**                                                         Indeed, if this food is given to the body of another and it is found somewhere, then it becomes easy for the person who has gone to a foreign land to get food there - perform his Shradh here and his hunger will be satisfied there!
………………………………………………. ………………………………………………. ...
This dialogue is worth reading... because in today's world, those who call themselves Sanatani want to impose their views on everyone. Ram never says follow my way, Ram only says follow the way of dignity, and that dignity can never go to the extent that you or anyone does violence in his name or through his worship and the common people justify it, that's it. There is no way of Ram.

आज बस में यात्रा करते समय एक छोटी सी घटना घटी जो अजीबो गरीब थी....एक मौलबी साहब हमरे बगल के सिट पर बैठे थे और हमें अपनी पत्नी से बात करते समय ध्यान से सुन रहे थे जब मैने फोन कट किया तो तपाक से बोले , मिया आप मुस्लमान हो ! ....हमे उनके इस प्रश्न पर हंसी आ गई और हंसते हुए कहा , नहीं जनब हिन्दू !   वो थोड़ी देर मौन रहे और बस भी हिचकोले खाते हुए एक अच्छी सड़क के साईड आ गई और आरम से बस आगे बढ़ने लगी ….. कुछ देर बाद बस एक मंदिर के पास से गुजरा और हमनें मंदिर को देखकर सिर झुकाया तो उन्होनें बोला, मिया आप की ज़बान और आपकी हुलिया आपको मुस्लमान साबित करती है....लेकिन जब आप ने बुत परस्ति के लिये सिर झुकाया तो जहनी तौर से एहसास हो गया की आप हिन्दू हैं......अब की बार हमारे हंसी का ठिकाना नहीं था और बस के सभी लोगो को हमारी हंसी ने अपनी ओर खींच ली....फिर हंसते हुए हमने कहा....यह पहली बार नही हुआ हमारे साथ, कभी हमारे लड़कपन में कुछ लवन्डो की टोली ने घर आकर कहा भाई जान कभी कभार नवाज़ के लिये आ जाया करिये रोज न सही ज़ुम्मे के दिन ही आ जाया करिये......इतना कहने के बाद हमने अपने माथे पर शिकन देखा...

Labor Day...

 International Labor Day is celebrated on May 1, today it has been 137 years and if I talk in seconds then 4,323,283,200 seconds... and this second needle is increasing.... well! It is being celebrated in India since May 1, 1923, which has completed its 100 years in India..... What is this day after all? Would it be right if it is seen only as a symbol of a red flag (in the context of India) or is the government really sensitive about the workers or they are seen only from the point of view of votes…. Because when I look at today's laborer, that laborer looks just like Nirla's "  वह तोड़ती पत्थर "... Where the demand was about the time of a work, it is the same as it is, no changes are visible in it. If he spends 24 hours then he gets bread for two times and maybe this is the truth and it has to be accepted..... Even today we remember the songs of Ludhianvi in such an atmosphere, "China-o-Arab is ours, India is ours There is no home to live, the whole world is ou...
